The Manor House Hotel And Golf Club, Castle Combe - An Estate of Elegant Pursuits

Set within 400 acres of secluded parkland on the outskirts of Bath, The Manor House Hotel And Golf Club presents itself as a distinguished destination for discerning travelers. This 14th-century estate seamlessly integrates the allure of a historic country house with the refined pleasures of a championship golf course and exceptional dining. It offers a sanctuary of tranquility, punctuated by the natural beauty of its grounds and the nearby charm of Castle Combe, often cited as England's prettiest village.

Location

The Manor House enjoys a coveted position, truly at the heart of Castle Combe, a village that captivates with its ancient stone bridges and weavers' cottages climbing the hill. The estate itself is a landscape of mature oak and beech trees, with the River Bybrook weaving through the magnificent fairways, adding both drama and beauty to the golfing experience. For those seeking exploration beyond the estate, the Roman Baths, Bath city centre, Stonehenge, and Longleat House are within easy reach. The hotel is located approximately 50 km from Bristol.

Style and Character

This is a country house hotel that exudes a sense of timeless elegance. The Manor House itself, a stunning 14th-century building, provides a historic backdrop, while its grounds offer Italianate gardens and secluded spots for reflection. Inside, expect characterful rooms and suites, each individually designed, merging traditional comfort with luxurious touches. The oak-panelled lounge, complete with a splendid fireplace bearing the crests of local families, sets a tone of refined conviviality, hinting at the hotel's rich heritage. There are also Mews Cottages offering more contemporary, spacious accommodations.

Service and Facilities

The Manor House offers a comprehensive suite of facilities designed for both leisure and business. The adjacent golf club provides access to a top-tier course, complete with a driving range and putting practice area, playable year-round thanks to its excellent drainage. For events, the Saxon Hall offers a grand setting with high ceilings, a dramatic chandelier, a Cotswold stone fireplace, and wooden flooring ideal for dancing. The Hexagonal Hall, the largest meeting room, ensures excellent disabled access. For relaxation, the grounds feature an Italianate garden and a brick potting shed offering al fresco spa treatments during warmer months. Members also benefit from broader access across the Exclusive Collection.

Rooms

Accommodations at The Manor House range from characterful traditional rooms to luxurious suites and Mews Cottages. Traditional rooms often feature unique elements such as a relaxing seating area, grand four-poster beds, or indulgent roll-top baths, many offering views of the grounds. The Mews Cottages provide spacious, stylish rooms with modern bathrooms, king-sized beds, and seating areas, some enhanced with four-poster beds, free-standing baths, or original features. Suites offer distinct layouts, including a separate living room, bedroom, and bathrooms with walk-in showers and tubs, with some featuring a private hot tub on an enclosed decked terrace. Suites in the main house can boast a fireplace, adding a special touch. Some rooms are specifically noted for plush comfort, king-size beds, contemporary bathrooms, and stunning views. It is important to note that children and extra beds cannot be accommodated in certain room types.

Food and Drink

Culinary experiences are a highlight, anchored by the Michelin-starred Bybrook restaurant, named after the river that graces the estate. Here, exquisite seasonal dishes crafted from local ingredients are expertly paired with wines from a global selection. For a more relaxed affair, delicious afternoon teas are served in the drawing room, alongside casual dining options in the lounge spaces. A short stroll away, The Castle Inn pub offers further choices. The hotel's lounge areas also provide a sophisticated setting for enjoying warming tipples, perhaps while marvelling at the night sky.

Value for Money

The Manor House offers a compelling proposition for those seeking a high-quality country escape. While not a budget option, the inclusion of Michelin-starred dining, a championship golf course, and the refined ambiance of a historic estate justifies the investment. Membership at the Golf Club provides additional benefits, extending value beyond the greens. The experience of staying in one of England's prettiest villages, coupled with impeccable service and elegant surroundings, ensures a memorable and worthwhile visit, particularly during autumn when the surrounding foliage is at its most spectacular.

Accessibility

The estate makes efforts to be inclusive, particularly with its meeting facilities. The Hexagonal Hall, located centrally within the clubhouse, offers excellent disabled access via a ramp from the entrance. Specific details regarding room accessibility and adapted facilities are best confirmed directly with the hotel upon booking.

Family-Friendly

While the hotel caters to a sophisticated clientele, specific room types can be prepared accordingly if guests inform the property of any children traveling. The Mews Cottages and suites, with their spacious layouts, could be suitable for families with older children. However, particular room categories explicitly state that children and extra beds cannot be accommodated, suggesting a more adult-oriented atmosphere in certain accommodations.

“Nestled in the quintessential English countryside, this hotel presents a luxurious retreat with its stunning grounds and meticulous attention to detail. The Michelin-starred dining at Bybrook promises an exquisite culinary journey, while the 18-hole championship golf course beckons enthusiasts for a challenging round amidst picturesque scenery. It's a place where historic charm meets modern indulgence, creating a memorable experience for discerning travelers.”
